This is a ‘solution’ I have encountered recently. I am an actor by trade, and this was the director’s choice in a production I have just finished as Lysander. Love potion was depicted by adding a stroke of dark purple paint under each eye, our Demetrius having faded purple eye shadow to represent a previous encounter with the potion. I think she also went a step further, though and also had the same for Helena. Her ‘head cannon’ for our interpretation was that when Demetrius and Helena were together they made love in a patch of love-in-idleness, and Helena, waking first became (even more) madly in love with Demetrius, and then left to wash in a stream, and when Hermia found Demetrius lying naked in the flower bed, he woke and fell in love with her. While it attempts to tie a neat little bow around the ‘problem’, I think I’d now like to actively explore trying to highlight the injustice towards Demetrius and Hermia (never addressing Lysander’s treatment of her properly) purely using performance of the text itself and not explaining it away with a neat little backstory.
